What Amazon requires
Everything in this section is published by Amazon. Each line is marked as a rule or as advice, because the two are not the same thing when you are deciding what to do.

Points we could not settle from a published source. Some are figures that circulate widely without one we could trace; on others Amazon’s guidance reads differently in different places, or does not reach the question. Everything here is marked, so you can see what rests on a source and what does not.
- ⚠ Around 9 image slots with 7 shown by default — Amazon publishes no figure we could verify
- ⚠ Text and infographics on secondary images: Amazon's guidance reads differently depending on which page you land on — we treat it as allowed
- ⚠ Amazon trademarks in an image are listed as a suppression trigger — we could not source this to a specific Amazon page
- ⚠ Amazon may replace your images with the brand owner's where those exist — recorded in our own sweep, not sourced to an Amazon page
These are the rules. We build to them.
Upload one photo and get back a set sized, framed and backgrounded to exactly what is on this page. No studio, no measuring, no rejected listing.
